German term or phrase:"Sowjetunion" (Russian magazine title of the 1930s)

I am looking for the English title of Russian magazines from the 1930s. This is in connection with industrial photography of the period. It could be that similar to "USSR in Construction" these magazines also had an English title.

This is in connection with a photography book on iron ore mining in the Urals that I am translating from German into English. The target audience will be those who appreciate and collect fine art photography, mining history, industrial history. The source sentence is below. The titles that I am looking for are "Feuerchen", "Unsere Erfolge", "Schichtwechsel" and "Sowjetunion":

Thank you for your help on this one, since I wasn't getting anywhere on my own and the Russian to German translator did not leave the original Russian titles in her translation. You are absolutely right in saying this is a matter of transliteration.

Lancashireman: How should the asker deal with Sowjetunion auf der Baustelle“ (USSR in Construction) later in the same sentence? // Source text suggests that it is two separate magazine titles in the 1930s.

This is the successor publication to USSR in Construction. They are published from the last known address of the 1949 run of USSR in Construction, 8 Moskvina, Moscow 9. More or less the same dimensions, these have the full colour covers (obviously) and black and white interiors. These are no longer printed with the foggy rotogravure of the older magazine, but still have that retouched and improved look of Soviet photography from the ’40s. Soviet Union was, in its turn, replaced with Soviet Life, which persisted up until 1991.http://sovietbooks.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/soviet-union-mag...
